in reply to WWW::Mechanize::Firefox latency using RemoteObject

• disable all addons you don't need in the browser
• disable images
• disable javascript

you do that in Edit->Preferences->Content_tab

alternatively, you can consider studying the requests Firefox does for a login on that site using Firebug and replicating all those requests using LWP for example using the appopriate headers and GET/POST parameters.

That won't help much because the slowness likely comes from Perl talking to Firefox and back, and not from pages being slow to load.

well maybe there's some js doing some AJAX requests so that's why I said to disable that js. or maybe there are some ads loading .. which can also be avoided..

Unfortunately, it isn't ad loading or javascript. This is seen on pages which are fully loaded, and even on _local_ (file:///) pages with no images or javascript. It almost entirely seems to originate in the communication somewhere between perl and firefox.
